Personally, I loved the dated feel of the show. It was classic and it was a nice change of pace to see something so glitzy and over the top without being something raunchy that i would see in a strip club. The girls were topless, not playing with themselves on stage. I'm not sure what people expect, but I was very impressed to see nearly 100 people on stage, wearing 35 lb headdresses and smiling from ear to ear for an hour and half without tripping, or bumping into each other. People seem to think that this show should be easy because it's been going on for 30 years, but these girls are all very beautiful and young, and clearly haven't been DOING it for 30 years!
If you want something that's "vintage" and glamorous this is the show for you. Classic Las Vegas showgirls in huge designer headdresses. If you want to see naked chicks grinding against each other, go see one of the other "Modern" Burlesque shows.
The only reason this didn't get 5 stars from me was the price. We literally had perfect seats, PERFECT. Dead center of the theater, 3rd row from the front, and I was able to see the show girls as they passed up into the balcony, dropped down from the ceiling and danced on stage simultaneously. My boyfriend and I got a buy-one-get-one which cost us a little over $100 for two tickets. I think it was well worth it, but having sat in such an ideal spot, it's hard to say if i would feel the same shoved in the corner of the theater for the same price. Considering the age, and the fact that this show is twice a night, daily, I think the cost could be a little less.
